How to access an array in a JSON object?

Question

I have the following JSON object:

[
    {
        "comments": [
            {
                "created_at": "2011-02-09T14:42:42-08:0         


        

Answer 1

Yes, as others have stated, the JSON is actually an Array (of a single Object). So you will need to reference an index.

Interestingly enough (to me), your result string does validate successfully as JSON. I assumed until now, that to be valid JSON, it had to be an Object (ie, {}).
